Chinese Hot And Sour Soup
This classic Chinese soup easily converts to a vegetarian offering
by omitting the chicken or pork and using vegetable broth instead
of chicken. Hot and sour soup is reputed to be good for colds –
the Chinese equivalent to chicken noodle soup.

Increase the heat to high and bring the mixture to a rolling boil.
Reduce the heat to medium and simmer 3 to 4 minutes.

chicken and red pepper flakes. Simmer the soup for 2 minutes.
Stir in the cornstarch mixture and simmer 2 minutes more.
Gently stir in the beaten egg. Remove the pot from the heat, stir

Chinese black mushrooms are an
excellent alternative to button mushrooms in
this recipe. Simply soak dried Chinese black
mushrooms in hot water for 30 minutes
or until softened, strain and slice.
